The goal of the Roosevelt-Vanderbilt Historical Association is to enhance our visitor's understanding and appreciation of each site and its resources via the development and sale of educational and interpretive items. RVHA is a not-for-profit 501 (c)(3) organization. We are an official National Park Service Cooperating Association that supports programming and preservation at the Roosevelt-Vanderbilt National Historic Sites.

RVHA works in conjunction with the Vanderbilt Mansion NHS, Val-Kill Cottage NHS, the Franklin D. Roosevelt NHS and the FDR Presidential Library and Museum, and the Top Cottage NHS. Proceeds from sales in the museum shops at the Vanderbilt Mansion and Val-Kill Cottage directly supports the National Park Service sites in Hyde Park, NY.
